Frailea castanea cv Ogata Shidou

[Carlo & Daniele]

Hello Frank, what is the characteristic of this cultivar?

The standard castanea is very small but this cultivar becomes a large size(Ogata).
I think number of ribs also more than that of standard.
It is quite popular cacti in Japan and some collectors keep this one in bosai pot.
